Excellent Beach House

Our family of 5 had more than enough room. The place is clean and nicely decorated. We spent all our time on the beach and loved how close we were to the water. Be sure to bring your own beach chairs, canopy/umbrella, toys, etc.

Location and Ocean views can't be beat

Our 2nd time coming to the island. And we loved this houses view and closeness to the beach. We will definitely rebook if it's available next year. Bring your own coffee, filters and kitchen spices as that's not something they stock. Not a issue just unexpected for us as it's been standard in our other short term rental stays. Cheers

Great location

Midsummer Solstice was a great property. It does have some wear and tear that is noticeable, but we expected that from a beach rental. It is in a fantastic location and the beach was never crowded, even though you are right next to a public beach. The property was clean upon our arrival. However, upon opening the door, we noticed an extremely pungent odor of rotting fish that permeated the entire house. Every time the air conditioner would kick on, the fishy odor would waft through the house. Thankfully, we spent most of our time outside. The other issue we had was with the sound monitoring. While we certainly understand the need for sound monitoring, the devices emit a terribly annoying dripping sound. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. This drip sound is in every room and will drive you crazy to the point that you cannot sleep. We would suggest these annoying devices be replaced by some kind of device that doesn't make any sound! Making sure your guests aren't throwing wild parties is one thing, making sure your guests cannot get a good night's sleep because of your monitoring devices is another. Some other small issues included: no remotes that actually worked on the blu ray player making it worthless, very limited included supplies like dishwasher detergent and toilet paper, and no other amenities like beach towels or beach chairs included. These were small inconveniences and did not impact our stay very much. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the property.

I wouldn't stay here again unless issues are resolved.

I contacted support numerous times. I have done numerous rentals through various companies and can honestly say this was the most disappointing experience I have ever had. The marble on the coffee and end tables is cracked and broken, pieces fell off on one of my guest foot. Multiple doors have cracked glass. The floor tiles have cracks all over the house. The dryer is a fire hazard. It does not shut off and it gets so hot you literally can't touch the clothes until they cool down some. The Keurig looked like it had been dropped and the water container for it was very dirty. The coffee pot was so old the metal bottom was rusted and wouldn't hold heat. The toaster would have sparks of fire. (A new coffee machine and toaster were dropped off after I reported the issues). 3 of 4 window shades didn't work properly in the bedrooms. The bedroom with bunk beds- the ceiling fan didn't work. The maintenance man did come and was very nice. He worked on the window shades and did finally get them closed. Also, the air unit kept giving alerts related to the humidity and seemed like it would work at times and not others.

Location A+, Amenities C

The location was perfect. Woke up to the waves and dolphins. East to run back to the house if something was forgotten. The dryer was damaged and is a fire hazard. It destroyed out towels (the first load of laundry we did at the house). Then the rusty wires on the back deck ruined the items we hung dry the rest of the week. The front deck railings are all wobbly and one is not connected to the top railing. The air conditioner stopped for a few hours but started working again by the time maintenance arrived.

Needs work

I had a great time fishing and spending time with family and friends! I don’t get to take many vacations so I am easily amused. With this being said, the house needs a few little things that would make a much more enjoyable stay. Upon arrival. One toilet was clogged and both bathtubs. Nothing like standing in 4” of water while taking a shower. Pulled mounds of past Vacasa customers hair out of the drains. Works like it should now. While running the dryer it was so hot in the hallway/ laundry room. Upon inspection, The dryer vent was not even attached. I reinstalled the dryer vent. The dryer needs replaced! It has a broken piece inside the tumbler that catches the clothing making a huge knot out of the clothes, ruining some of my family’s clothes. Past reviews mentioned a big cockroach issue. Did not see a lot, but did see a few. Keypad on the door did not work. We had to share 1 key for 6 guests. I feel that spending 5k for the week that I should not have experienced most of the issues. One other thing that I wish I knew was that there is public parking right next to this rental. I had a lot of people try to set up camp right in front of this rental. Constant battle telling them to move over to the public area. That was my fault for not doing my research, but I probably would not have rented the property knowing this. I don’t regret the experience but would most likely try another rental next time.

Beautiful getaway

Beautiful property. Right on the beach. Had a problem with the dryer so we called it in and the office responded promptly. They were very nice. We were there during off season so we met many of the people who live there year round and they were all so friendly and we had a great week hanging out with them. We also took a charter with Fear Knot and he was really knowledgeable, friendly, and just all around a great guy. Highly recommended

Love & Hate

Glad I drive a 4x4 truck, otherwise I would be parking on the street. I pulled up to the house for the first time and didn’t see a driveway, it was a giant sand hill, get over the hill and pull closer to the house and couldn’t tell where the hard sand ended and the soft sand began. I get stuck but luckily I could get out. The pictures online show a flat driveway leading up to the house, not a sand dune/hill.

Amazing ocean views + beach access

Second time staying at this house with our family of 4. The owners upgraded the outdoor furniture to Polywood Adirondacks for ultimate relaxation on the back deck. Upgraded new grill and new oven. We come here to soak in the ocean sound and view. Tip for those who have never been to the island. We bring all of our food with us, premade dinners, our own spices, coffee ECT. The island is limited on restaurants and there is just 1 small convenience store. Plan for that in advance and you will have a great visit.
